Dang Law Group’s Uber & Lyft accident lawyers combine more than a decade of courtroom success with genuine empathy, guiding injured riders, drivers, and bystanders back to financial and physical stability. Our bilingual team (English & Spanish) makes sure you always understand your rights and the status of your claim.
Rideshare cases can involve multiple insurance layers, strict app-based policies, and aggressive adjusters who rush to settle. We cut through that confusion by pulling trip data, driver logs, dash-cam footage, and phone records, then teaming with accident-reconstruction experts to pinpoint fault. From disputing lowball offers to dismantling the “independent contractor” defenses Uber and Lyft love to hide behind, we handle every detail while you focus on recovery.
UBER & LYFT ACCIDENTS
Cases Handled By Our Uber & Lyft Accident Attorneys in Austin
An Uber or Lyft collision can involve a passenger-packed Prius, a distracted rideshare driver, a third-party motorist, or even a pedestrian in a busy pickup zone. Because multiple insurance policies and corporate safety rules come into play, untangling liability is far more complex than in a typical fender-bender. With medical bills and lost wages piling up, you need an Uber & Lyft accident attorney who understands the fine print of rideshare law and knows how to force big companies to pay. Common causes our Uber & Lyft accident attorneys see in Austin, Texas:
- App distraction: Drivers glance at incoming ride requests, navigation prompts, or passenger texts, taking their eyes off the road.
- Rushing to meet quotas: The faster a driver accepts and completes trips, the bigger their bonus—so speeding and hard braking on I-35 or MoPac are common.
- Unsafe pick-ups and drop-offs: Stopping in bike lanes, double-parking downtown, or swinging across lanes on South Congress can spark sudden collisions.
- Drowsy or overworked drivers: Long shifts without adequate rest increase reaction times and lead to poor decision-making behind the wheel.
- Mechanical neglect: Personal vehicles used for rideshare must pass inspections, but worn brakes, bald tires, or faulty lights still slip through the cracks.
Typical Rideshare Collision Scenarios
- Left-turn impacts: A rideshare car cuts across oncoming traffic while rushing to a pick-up, causing a head-on or T-bone crash.
- Rear-end collisions: Uber or Lyft drivers stop abruptly to load passengers, and the vehicle behind plows into the trunk.
- Side-swipes during lane changes: A driver merges without checking blind spots, clipping another car, motorcycle, or scooter.
- Pedestrian and cyclist strikes: Passengers exit into bike lanes or crosswalks just as riders and walkers pass by.
- Multi-vehicle pileups: Aggressive lane-hopping or sudden braking on congested highways triggers chain-reaction crashes.
Victims can suffer anything from whiplash and broken bones to traumatic brain injuries and permanent spinal damage. Beyond medical costs, you may lose significant income while you heal, pay out of pocket for physical therapy, and cope with ongoing emotional distress. Rideshare companies will try to pin blame on other drivers—or even on you—to limit payouts
Consequences You Might Face After an Uber or Lyft Accident
A rideshare collision may involve a compact sedan rather than a 30-ton bus, but the injuries and financial fallout can be just as life-altering. A seasoned Uber & Lyft accident lawyer will document every loss—physical, emotional, and economic—to make sure you’re fully compensated.
A sudden stop or side-impact can hurl passengers against windows or seatbacks, causing concussions, contusions, or even skull fractures. Long-term symptoms—migraines, dizziness, memory lapses, and personality changes—often require costly neurological care.
The whiplash effect in a rear-end crash can rupture discs or damage the spinal cord, leading to chronic pain or partial paralysis. Early imaging and aggressive rehab (sometimes surgery) are critical to prevent lifelong complications.
Tight confines mean knees hit dashboards and arms brace against doors. Broken bones, torn ligaments, and nerve injuries can limit mobility and earning capacity, demanding extensive physical therapy or orthopedic surgery.
PTSD, anxiety, and depression often follow a violent rideshare crash, especially when victims replay the incident of a stranger—and an app—being in control. These invisible wounds deserve real dollar value in any settlement
Phones, laptops, luggage, or even other vehicles can be destroyed, leaving you to shoulder repair bills or replacement costs while you miss work and doctor’s appointments.
